the methanol extract of ichnocarpus frutescens r.br. root (meif) was evaluated for its anti-pyretic potential on normal body temperature and yeast-induced pyrexia in albino rats. yeast suspension (10 ml/kg body wt.) increased rectal temperature 19 h after subcutaneous injection. the meif, at doses of 100, 200, and 300 mg/kg body wt., p.o., produced significant reduction in normal body temperatu...

1. Introduction The wetland is mostly distributed in the moist low temperature area at high latitudes. The wetland has the peat bog, which forms the accumulation of undecomposed plants. The important thing to notice is that the peat bog is similar to the aerial part of biomass in accumulating carbon. Since the amount of carbon cannot be ignored in the wetland, there is an urgent need to monitor...

We develop a Luttinger liquid theory of the Coulomb drag of persistent currents flowing in concentric mesoscopic rings, by incorporating non-linear corrections to the electron dispersion relation. We demonstrate that at low temperatures, interactions between electrons in different rings generate an additional phase and thus alter the period of Aharonov-Bohm oscillations. The resulting nondissip...

– CrO2 thin films, with crystallites of several microns size, provide the opportunity for the investigation of the intergrain tunneling between a few crystals separated by a 1–2 nm thick Cr2O3 film. A pronounced zero-bias anomaly of the conductance is found at low temperatures. Combined photoemission and inverse photoemission temperature-dependent studies confirm the occurrence of Coulomb block...

We report high resolution angle-resolved photo-emission spectroscopy (ARPES)measurements of detwinned FeSe single crystals. The application of amechanical strain is used to promote the volume fraction of one of the orthorhombic domains in the sample, whichwe estimate to be 80% detwinned. While the full structure of the electron pockets consisting of two crossed ellipsesmay be observed in the te...

We have shown that the Landau paradigm based upon both the quasiparticle concept and the notion of the order parameter can be used to explain the anomalous behavior of heavy fermion metals. Exploiting this paradigm and the fermion condensation quantum phase transition (FCQPT) we show that this anomalous behavior is universal and can be used to capture the essential aspects of recent experiments...

We present experimental results on shallow junction formation in germanium by phosphorus ion implantation and standard rapid thermal processing. An attempt is made to improve phosphorus activation by implanting phosphorus at high and low temperature. The focus is on studying the germanium damage and phosphorus activation as a function of implant temperature. Rutherford backscattering spectromet...
